Only Aoto and Saito had strange expressions.

Qingdeng recognized this person...

He just met this person not long ago... and copied a strange talent from this person.

"Cat Monk...?" Qingden called this person's name softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

The man in black who suddenly appeared was the big thief: the cat monk.

Before Qingdeng could be surprised that the cat monk suddenly appeared at this time, he saw the cat monk suddenly raised his right hand and threw something at Qingdeng in full view of everyone.

Things like this hit the muddy ground at Qingdeng's feet, sprinkling mud at intervals.

Qingdeng took a closer look - such an object turned out to be a paper ball wrapped with something hard.

Mao Xiaoseng used his neutral voice and shouted to Qingdeng again: "Look at that piece of paper! Fanshu tunes are all dangerous!"

After shouting these words, the cat monk turned around without looking back, jumped into the invisible darkness behind the shop.

Nagakura and the others subconsciously wanted to chase them, but were stopped by Qingto's shout.

"Stop chasing him! That man is Cat Monk, you can't catch him!"

When he first met the Cat Monk, Qing Deng still remembers the speed that the Cat Monk showed and his dexterity in moving across complex terrain such as rooftops and narrow alleys.

Chasing the Neko-monk in the streets of Edo... they might even break their legs and not be able to catch up.

"Cat Monk?" Harada's eyes bulged, then he raised his head and looked in the direction where the Cat Monk disappeared.

Nagakura and Toudou, who had also met the famous phantom thief for the first time, were now looking towards the direction where the cat monk left with curious and startled eyes like Harada.

——Fan Shu tunes out all dangers...?

While Qingdeng was chewing in his mind what Mao Xiaoseng had just shouted, he bent down and picked up the paper ball that Mao Xiaosheng had just thrown at his feet.

There was an ordinary stone wrapped in this piece of paper - probably it was wrapped in a heavy object so that it could be easily thrown at Qingdeng's feet.

Qingdeng threw the stone aside and unfolded the paper.

Saito and the others all gathered around at this time, and followed Aomori to check what was written on the paper.

I saw only one sentence written in extremely correct handwriting on this piece of paper:

[A group of unknown people are attacking the Fanshu Adjustment Center. The number of attackers should be around six to seventy people]

"The Fanshu Adjustment Institute...is under attack?" Todo looked in disbelief.

Nagakura and Harada, who were standing side by side, looked at each other - both of them had confused expressions on their faces.

The famous monster thief suddenly appeared and informed them of "all the dangers of Fanshu Diao"... Their brains were a bit unable to understand what was going on...

Even Saito, who was always expressionless, was now frowning slightly.

Invariably, they all focused their attention on Qingdeng.

Qingdeng, who was still looking at the line of writing on the paper, now frowned.

The fog that is currently entangled in Qingto's mind is no less than that of Saito and the others...

There were so many questions that Qingdeng didn't know where to start thinking.

"Mr. Tachibana..." Harada put his spear on his shoulder, "Now... what should we do?"

Nagakura took over: "Do you want to believe...that little cat monk?"

Qingdeng thought for a moment, then let out a long breath, folded the paper in his hand solemnly, and put it into his arms: "...Let's go. Let's go to the Fanshu Diao Institute."

"Mr. Tachibana," Todo said in astonishment, "Do we want to believe that little cat monk?"

"...Try your luck." Qingdeng said solemnly, "I just don't know what to do right now."

"The attack on Fanshu Diao...is really not an impossible thing."

"It's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. And...I really can't think of any reason why Mao Xiaoseng would tell me false information without any reason."

"Anyway, even if our trip to the Fanshu Adjustment Center was in vain, we won't have much to lose."

"Let's go!"

Now that Ayoto has spoken, Saito and the others can only obey.

The group of people hurried away from the fire scene.

As soon as they left the raging waves of fire behind, they suddenly bumped into a young man dressed as a member of their own army.

"Ah! Lord Tachibana?" After seeing Qingteng, the young servant greeted Qingteng in surprise.

This place is one of the patrol areas that Qingteng is responsible for on weekdays, so the local guards in this area basically recognize Qingteng.

This servant was carrying a big hammer... Judging from his appearance, he probably wanted to go to the fire scene in Kagi-machi to help demolish the houses around the fire scene and prevent the spread of the fire.

In Edo, where fires occurred frequently, there was never a shortage of brave warriors who had the courage to work with the town fire department officers to put out fires when fires broke out.

After Qingdeng glanced at this brave servant for a few times, he waved to him: "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Jiuzaburo!"

"Jiuzaburo, come with me."

"Huh? Is...what's the matter?"

"Don't ask so many questions yet, just follow me."

"Okay, okay!"

Jiuzaburo, who was not sure why, followed Qingdeng towards the Fanshu Diao Institute.

As a group of people hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly, soon, the huge shadow of Fanshu Diao Institute gradually appeared in Qingdeng's eyes.

What also appeared in the eyes of Qingdeng and the others... were the black shadows outside the training center.

Qingdeng, who had the night vision provided by the "cat's eye", clearly saw several corpses lying in a mess at the gate of the transfer station.

These corpses were all very familiar to Qingdeng - when they were patrolling outside the gate of the Fanshu Adjustment Institute tonight, they could see these guards guarding the gate of the transfer station with all due diligence...

Although Saito and the others did not have the same night vision ability as Aonto, with the slight amount of moonlight, they could barely see clearly the figures of the members of the anti-insurgency team who were swarming outside the police station.

I saw Saito and others looking at the Fanshu Adjustment Center that was really being attacked, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"This, this is...?!" Jiuzaburo, who was forcibly pulled over by Qingden, was dumbfounded at the moment, staring blankly at the Fanshu Diaosuo who was surrounded by the anti-barbarian group.

At the beginning, Qingdeng was stunned because "Mao Xiaoseng's information was actually correct," but he quickly regained his composure.

"...Shusaburo." Qingdeng said to Shusaburo in a deep voice, "Rush to the Beifan Institute now, find Mr. Bojing, and tell him: The Tibetan Shudiao Institute is suffering from a large number of unknown people who are suspected to be the anti-barbarian group.

Attack, please send additional reinforcements immediately!"

This Sake Saburo is also a very smart and eye-catching person.

After hearing Qingteng's order, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "Yes, yes! I will go to Beifansuo now!"

After saying that, Shuzaburo threw aside the big mallet he had been carrying on his shoulders, lifted up the hem of his hakama, and ran towards the direction of Kitabansho as fast as a spark of fire.

After Jiuzaburo left, Qingdeng turned his attention back to the Fanshu Adjustment Institute in the distance——

"……Ready to fight."

While issuing attack orders to his subordinates in a calm tone, Qingto straightened the Dingguishen around his waist.

Harada blinked hard at Aoto: "Mr. Tachibana, we...are just going to attack with just this few people? Why don't we wait for the reinforcements from the execution center first?"

"There may be survivors in the Fanshu Diao Institute now." Qingdeng said calmly, "If we just wait so eagerly for the reinforcements from the execution institute to arrive, then the only survivors in the Diao Institute may even have cold bodies.

Already."

"If we attack now, we might be able to save a few people."

"and--"

Having said this, Qingdeng changed into a joking tone.

"If we, the official officers who shoulder the important mission of 'protecting Edo,' don't rush forward immediately when we see the enemies who are destroying Edo, we may be impeached in the future."

After hearing this, Harada grinned and said with a naive smile: "Okay, you are our leader now, and you will do what you say you want to do."

"Shall we attack directly without waiting for reinforcements... Haha, it sounds very exciting!" Nagagura showed an expectant and excited smile, gearing up.

Todo, who was young and had not seen much of the world, looked nervous, but there was no shrinking look on his cheeks.

Saito was as calm as ever - he just silently drew the sword in his hand.

Looking at his subordinates who showed no intention of retreating, Qingdeng's lips curled up slightly.

"In that case, you all have to follow me closely!"

He threw his upper body, Yu Zhi, and led the crowd, like a tiger descending the mountain, straight towards the battlefield in the distance.

…

…

After listening to Aoshito's story, Hakui and Arima all showed the same expression - dumbfounded, clay and wood sculptures.

After a long while, Bo Jing's consciousness finally returned to reality.
